Hi Csaba,

After a few months, I returned to this thread.

The following commands worked.

hwdet-all.sh

### wireless interface  ###

ip link set wlan0 up multicast on promisc on mtu 1500
ethtool -K wlan0 rx off
ethtool -K wlan0 tx off
ethtool -K wlan0 sg off
ethtool -K wlan0 tso off
ethtool -K wlan0 ufo off

ethtool -K wlan0 gro off
ethtool -K wlan0 lro off
ethtool -K wlan0 rxvlan off
ethtool -K wlan0 txvlan off
ethtool -K wlan0 ntuple off
ethtool -K wlan0 rxhash off
ethtool --set-eee wlan0 eee off
/sbin/wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/example.conf

But... There are still errors in this config that I couldn't understand.

In Debian managed interface

root@optiplex790:~# ping -I wlan0 8.8.8.8 -c 4
PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) from 192.168.25.10 wlan0: 56(84) bytes of data.

On RARE/freeRtr even with wlan0 down

It was too good to be true. I think I'm forgetting something.

hi,
for the wpa supplicant, sure, you can do so! :)
but the veth creation, place them in hwdet-all instead, since they dont need reswapning...
